In the 2021 US Open, a "youth storm" is amazing. After eliminating Tsitsipas, the 18-year-old Alcaraz yesterday defeated German qualifier Goyyovtsk 5-7, 6-1, 5-7, 6-2 and 6-0 to reach the quarter-finals of the Grand Slam men's singles for the first time in his career. After defeating Naomi Osaka, Fernandez reversed former tournament champion Kerber 4:6, 7:6 (5), 6:2 on the last day of her 18th birthday (the match was on September 5, local time in the United States), and reached the women's singles quarterfinals of a Grand Slam for the first time in her career, which was a gift for her 19th birthday.
Carlos Alcaraz was born on 5 May 2003 in Murcia, Spain. In the last round, he beat big favourite Tsitsipas, who he said meant a lot, like a dream. Behind him, former world number one Juan Carlos Ferrero, as coach, smiled with relief. Yesterday, Alcaraz "gave eggs" in the decider, defeating Goyoftsk 3:2 and reaching the quarterfinals of the men's singles for the first time in his career. Alcaraz is currently ranked 55th in the world, and this year is the first time in his career that he has played in a Grand Slam men's singles tournament. Previously, he stopped in the second round at both the Australian Open and Wimbledon, the French Open reached the third round, and the US Open made history all the way.
Born on September 6, 2002 in Montreal, Canada, Fernandez is only 1.68 meters tall, but her thin body contains super energy. Two years ago, she beat No. 8 seed Navarro in Roland Garros to become the first Canadian to win the French Open Junior Singles title and the second Canadian to win a Grand Slam Junior Women's Singles title after Eugene Bouchard. Last year, she won the U.S. Open for the first Grand Slam women's singles victory. Now back on the U.S. Open, she is still unstoppable. She eliminated defending champion Naomi Osaka, leaving the opponent to tears and saying that she would leave tennis for a while. Yesterday, he reversed Kerber again, entered the quarterfinals of the Grand Slam women's singles for the first time in his career, and presented a precious gift for his 19th birthday.
The 21-year-old Ariasim also performed heroically, defeating American Tiafo 4:6, 6:2, 7:6 (6), 6:4 to reach the men's singles quarterfinals of the US Open for the first time in his career and the second time after Wimbledon to advance to the quarterfinals of Grand Slam men's singles.
